Compared with Su Jia Ronghui, a pure concubine who has always been mature and steady, Jin Jia Wanhua, the concubine of Zhong Cui Palace, is a little unbreathable. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Jin Jia Wanhua has been holding the thin fourth elder brother Yonghui in her arms since she heard Qianlong's decision to vaccinate everyone in the palace to prevent smallpox, and she is unwilling to let go even if anyone tries to persuade her, and she is anxiously pacing back and forth in the dormitory.

Wanhua stroked Yonghui's little face with pity, and whispered in her mouth: "Yonghui in this palace is still so young, and he has been weak and sick since he was born, and he has only been at peace for a few days, how can he afford to toss like pox!" This palace doesn't care whether it is human pox or cowpox, isn't it the same life to gamble? If Xiao Yonghui, who was born with great difficulty, contracted smallpox because of pox, wouldn't that be equivalent to taking the lives of the mother and son of this palace? ”

Qian Xue, the palace maid beside Jia Concubine, looked at the anxious Jia Concubine worriedly, carefully considered her words, and then carefully persuaded: "The master doesn't have to worry so much. According to the slave's shallow opinion, since the emperor has ordered everyone in the palace to be vaccinated with cowpox, then presumably this method of planting pox should be safe. The emperor has always been wise and martial, how could he joke with the noble bodies of the palace concubines, princes and princesses? Since this is the case, the master might as well vaccinate the fourth elder brother with cowpox in accordance with the emperor's will. If the fourth elder brother is vaccinated with cowpox, he will not be infected with smallpox again, which is also a rare happy event! ”

Jin Jia Wanhua glared at Qian Xue angrily, if it weren't for the rule that there has always been a rule in the palace that you don't hit people in the face, Wanhua would have been eager to slap Qian Xue a few times immediately to vent her hatred. "What do you ignorant slave know? The fourth elder brother of this palace is so small, but it happens that his body is weaker than the other little elder brothers. If something happens after planting cowpox and you are unlucky enough to contract smallpox, can you compensate for a healthy son in this palace? What an open-mouthed! This palace will punish you with three months of moon silver, so that you can have a good long memory! ”

Qian Xue originally kindly reminded Jia Concubine a few heartfelt words, but was punished by Jia Concubine like this, she naturally felt a little resentful in her heart, but her face became more and more respectful, and she couldn't see the slightest dissatisfaction, so she quickly and carefully knelt on the ground and kowtowed to admit her mistake, not daring to say anything more.

Wanhua saw that Qian Xue admitted her mistake again and again, and finally eased the fierceness on her face, but sighed stubbornly: "The fourth elder brother is the only son of this palace, and he is the support of this palace in this life!" However, the emperor was confused by the Xiao family again, and spoiled that annoying woman...... If this continues, I am afraid that this palace will only have one child in this life. ”

Wanhua sighed lonely, and sneered sarcastically: "This palace is not as lucky as the Xiao family, and it can give birth to two little brothers. Even if one son dies unlucky, there is another son to rely on. This palace can't be like those ruthless women, using their sons as a tool to compete for favor and please the emperor! Therefore, this palace must think of a good way to help the fourth elder brother avoid this catastrophe! Only in this way can we keep the only son of this palace! ”

Qian Xue didn't think so, but she just bowed her head respectfully and didn't say a word.

Since his master is stubborn, why should he be a slave and a maidservant? Although he and Jia Concubine are both prosperous and lossy, but he can't ignore his own life for Jia Concubine, right? After a few more years of hard work, you can get out of the palace and marry when you are old. It seems that it is really good to do less and make fewer mistakes. From now on, I only need to do my part, be careful not to be implicated, and stay up peacefully and smoothly until I get out of the palace is the right way!

Wanhua frowned and pondered for a long time, and suddenly ordered Qian Xue to bring a basin of cold water, and actually took off Yonghui's clothes and put Yonghui directly into the cold water.

Yonghui caught a cold and cried uncomfortably. Wanhua hugged Yonghui out in distress, and also shed tears. "Yonghui, Yonghui, don't complain about Eniang. E-Niang also had no choice, so she had to make this decision. It would be a good thing if you could avoid the pox with some minor illnesses and disasters! You have to remember that Eniang is all for your good! ”

After this toss, the fourth elder brother Yonghui really started to heat up that night, his little face burned red, and he was so sick that he couldn't even feed the milk.

Although Wanhua got what she wanted and asked Qianlong for the will to delay the planting of pox for Yonghui, she was anxious to take care of the sick Yonghui, and her face was haggard after a night, and even the best fat powder could not hide the blue and black under her eyes, and the corners of her eyebrows were full of sorrow.

According to Qianlong's will, on the first day, Princess Hejing and several elder brothers should be inoculated with cowpox.

At the risk of being reprimanded by Qianlong, Empress Fucha Ningxiu ordered her confidant eunuch Liu Sheng to take a lot of effort to mix the fine powder made of human acne scabs into the cowpox powder, and handed it to the imperial doctor Zhao Qi, who was on an errand in the imperial hospital, and ordered his driver to place the powder in the medicine box of the imperial physician Wu Qian, so that when Wu Qian inoculated Yongqi and Yongying with cowpox, these problematic pox powders could be used on the two little elder brothers.

It is a big deal to plant pox for several elder brothers and princesses in the palace, except for the fourth elder brother Yonghui who cannot be vaccinated with cowpox for the time being due to illness, the eldest brother Yonghuang, the third elder brother Yongzhang and the eldest princess and Jing were all arranged to be the first batch of vaccinia.

Seeing this, Queen Fucha Ningxiu's face changed slightly, and she hurriedly showed a graceful and elegant smile, and asked Qianlong softly: "Why don't you see the fifth elder brother and the sixth elder brother?" Isn't it that the two little elder brothers are frail, and they are also sick with a cold like the fourth elder brother? ”

Qianlong frowned displeasedly, glanced at Ning Xiu coldly, and said lightly: "Yongqi and Yongying have already been inoculated with me some time ago by Imperial Doctor Wu. Now there is no need to get pox again. ”

As soon as Qianlong's words came out, everyone present was surprised, and Ning Xiu was even more angry and secretly tightened the Jinpa in her hand, and said with a reluctant smile on her face: "I see, Yongqi and Yongying can be blessed with the emperor's grace and inoculate with the emperor, which is also their great blessing and creation!" It's just that I beg my pardon for the concubine's words. The emperor's dragon body is precious, and it should be not too late to inoculate cowpox in the palace after everyone in the palace has been vaccinated to prove that cowpox is harmless to the human body! ”

When Qianlong heard Ning Xiu's persuasion, not only was he not half moved in his heart, but he was even more displeased and disgusted, and his face suddenly sank, and he said coldly: "The queen's words are wrong. I have stated in the holy decree that the method of vaccinating against smallpox has been confirmed by the doctors of the Tai Hospital, and it is indeed an effective method of prevention and treatment that does not cause any damage to those who have been vaccinated with cowpox. Since I have decided to implement the method of vaccinating against smallpox in the Qing Dynasty, as the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, I must set an example. Not only did I have to vaccinate myself with cowpox, but I also ordered my princes, princesses, concubines and concubines to also be vaccinated with cowpox, and only from top to bottom could the cowpox method be quickly and smoothly implemented in the Qing Dynasty. ”

"Originally, if we waited for smallpox to break out in the Qing Dynasty on a large scale again, I could also implement the cowpox method among the people first, so that the cowpox method could be gradually implemented in the Qing Dynasty from the bottom up. However, such an implementation process will cause many innocent poor people to lose their lives to smallpox, which is really not what I want. ”

Swept away by Qianlong's cold gaze, Ning Xiu only felt a sticky cold sweat break out on her back. She suddenly realized that Qianlong's intention to implement the cowpox law in the palace was not just a family matter, but also a state affair of the Qing Dynasty.

Ning Xiu was a little scared, and secretly regretted that she shouldn't have been fooled and dared to murder Yongqi and Yongying by vaccinating cowpox. Now, not only did he not have any damage to the two little brothers born by Xiao Yan, but he even offended Qianlong because of this. After all, vaccinating cowpox to prevent smallpox is related to the state affairs of the previous dynasty and the aspirations of the people, if those problematic pox powder that was brought into the palace according to her orders caused any trouble at this critical time, I am afraid that Qianlong will hate her because of this matter after finding out about it, and he will never easily forgive her again.

Ning Xiu glanced at Imperial Physician Zhao without a trace, and when she saw that Imperial Physician Zhao and her eyes were staggered, panic flashed in her eyes, and her heart sank.

Qianlong does not have many heirs now, so although Qianlong does not like Yonghuang and Yongzhang, he also attaches great importance to this pox.

Qianlong thought for a moment, and ordered the right court to sentence Wu Qian to be the eldest princess and Jing and the eldest brother Yonghuang to have pox, and the left court of the Tai Hospital to sentence Liu Yuduo to the third brother Yongzhang to have pox.

Ning Xiu was almost in tears, clenched her fists nervously, staring at Wu Qian with wide eyes, and a little cold sweat was already oozing from her white forehead.

Imperial Doctor Zhao, who knew the inside story, originally thought that the queen, who loved her daughter, would definitely think of a way to prevent Wu Qian from planting pox for Princess Hejing, but she didn't expect that although the queen was pale, she still watched Wu Qian take out the pox powder and plant pox for Princess Hejing, and she didn't open her mouth to stop it.

Imperial Physician Zhao shook his body unconsciously, and secretly regretted that he betrayed his mentor Wu Qian, who treated him like a mountain, in order to run an errand for the queen.

If it weren't for Wu Qian's trust in him, a disciple who entered the room, how could he find an opportunity to do something on Wu Qian's medicine box? The queen is so ruthless, in order to achieve her goal, she can even use her own daughter, watching her daughter use the problematic pox powder to plant pox, regardless of her daughter's life, I am afraid that this time she is not only very likely to be pushed out by the queen as a scapegoat, but even implicated her own teacher.

The more Zhao Ji thought about it, the more he felt that the future was dark and bleak, and the whole person looked a little lost.

Ning Xiu saw that Princess Hejing had finished planting cowpox, and suddenly felt that her body was a little weak, although her heart was full of apologies for Hejing, she didn't dare to step forward to give Hejing a warm hug, but hurriedly ordered Hejing's grandmother and palace maids to help Hejing back to Changchun Palace, so that she could serve and take care of her. As soon as the third elder brother Yongzhang finished a pox, he was soothed by the soft voice of the pure concubine in her arms.

The eldest brother Yonghuang just indifferently tidied up his sleeves, but a touch of gloom and hatred flashed in his deep phoenix eyes, but it was fleeting, and he returned to his usual cold and silent look.

When Concubine Gao Fang heard that Qianlong had already planted cowpox for the fifth elder brother Yongqi and the sixth elder brother Yongying, she secretly hated it in her heart. Unexpectedly, when the imperial doctors inoculated the concubines of the harem with cowpox in the afternoon, they heard that the concubine Xiao Yan had already been vaccinated with human pox when she was young, so she naturally didn't need to be vaccinated with cowpox again, and her heart was even more irritable.

Gao Fang looked at Queen Fucha Ningxiu's slightly pale and tired face, and sneered in her heart, secretly thinking that Fucha was really a useless waste. If you expect the Fucha clan to deal with Xiao Yan, you don't know when it will be done!

In Gao Fang's opinion, Xiao Yan had already won Qianlong's favor at this time. Many people in the palace thought that Xiao Yan borrowed the light of the fifth and sixth elder brothers, and the mother would get Qianlong's extraordinary favor by virtue of her son, but Gao Fang vaguely felt that Qianlong had indeed moved his true feelings for Xiao Yan. Nowadays, the fifth and sixth elder brothers are so favored, not necessarily because their biological mother is Qianlong's favored concubine.

Therefore, Gao Fang felt that if he wanted to completely shake the foundation of Xiao Yan's favor, it was not the best strategy to attack the fifth and sixth elder brothers. Imagine for the harem concubines, what is more unforgivable than not abiding by women's morals and fornicating in the palace?

However, it is not easy to get rid of Xiao Yan's big sin of prostitution and disorder in the harem.

Just because the rules in the Qing palace are strict, except for Qianlong, adult men are not allowed to come and stay in the harem at will. Even for castrated eunuchs in the Qing Palace, there is a strict review system, the internal affairs office and the Jingshifang will follow the rules of the palace, twice a year in spring and autumn to the palace and the eunuchs in each palace to conduct physical examinations, for the eunuchs who have not been cut clean to be cut two or even three times, therefore, the eunuchs who can enter the palace to serve the nobles are extremely clean, and it is impossible to have any misdeeds and ambiguities with the concubines.

Gao Fang stayed awake all night last night, meditated all night, and finally came up with a shocking idea.
